So my four-year-old daughter just informed me--out of the blue--that she wants "bunches of baby brothers, and bunches of baby sisters, all over the place." (Using hand motions.) THEN proceeds to tell me that they can "sleep all over the place, in Mommy and Daddy's room, in the family room, in the office." THEN, I guess to make sure I understood her wishes, she asked, "Okay?"

Okay, Anna. I'll do my best. (Right now I kinda ALREADY feel like there are "bunches" of kids "all over the place", but I suppose she's right, we haven't filled up ALL of the rooms of our house yet.)

Oh my goodness, what is it with little girls and babies!?!?! Hannah is quite mad that when she told us to have more babies, we told her we couldn't (Greg had the big V done and refuses to adopt... sore spot between us). Her response, was "Then I will have FIVE babiee!" How will you take care of them all? "I will work and you will live with me and take care of them!"She has an answer for everything!!

i like that 'move to colorado' idea! ;) maegan said the same thing a few months back... only she wants to adopt ALL of the children who don't have mommies and daddies. she said all the girls can sleep in her room, and all the boys can sleep in ryan's room. no problem, right?
